I'm coming, coming, back, back, from Cali, Cali
What up... I'm moving to Seattle in a few weeks, and I'd really like to meet some local rotary-junkies like myself. I grew up in Portland, but have been living in LA for the last 7 years or so, and I'm moving back to have a garage, a driveway, a water spout, clean dense air, twisty roads, dark coffee, and fertile girls. Nearly every time I visit the NW I see a few RX-7s of all gens, so I look forward to meeting up some time! I'm interested in getting into LeMons if anyone is doing tha, and also building a carb'd 3-rotor for an RX-3. And what's the fastest/cheapest way to get onto SIR?

Well it's not Pacific Raceways, no longer SIR. Typically the easiest and least expensive way to get onto their road course is to get in with one of the local sports car clubs like Porsche, Alfa Romeo, BMW, etc... They have the most track days that I see on the schedule annually. We also have Portland Intl Raceway and there is a new track in Oregon as well I'm sure you'd love.

lol I could maybe work that out to tour in the 7, it's not licensed and has poor coolant seals but it's manageable.
WA smog isn't too difficult to pass if you know what you're doing. If you came from Cali you're probably fine cuz IIRC their limitations are more strict than ours. It's typically required every 2 years. In Shoreline you will be required to have an emissions qualified vehicle. But no worries, if you have any trouble whatsoever we have lots of experience passing and failing emissions

depends if you wana go state hw or not. Heh either way going fast in alot of places gets you caught by state patrol out here. In the shoreline area I am not too sure, but you could hit up Redmond for some open roads.

As far as meeting the people up here we have a few monthly meetings, one up north, one down south, and one in the middle so theres plenty of chances to meet and hang out. I definitely want to see that 3 rotor rx3 to that sounds like an awesome project.

FYI... IDK what you've been doing for the last 7 years, but you are moving AWAY from the best driving roads on the west coast. I grew up in LA and when i moved here i was thoroughly nonplussed with the driving conditions. Other than that... welcome to WA

seattle lies within king county, king county has smog check. No underhood inspection when you pass the first time, if you fail and come back with a waiver($150) then before they wave you they look under the hood. If you passed in LA then don't worry about seattle.
see you soon, depending on what sort of driving you do we could make a special drive like a "I escaped Los Angeles Drive" haha

Ok, so the weather sucks... but it's beautiful up there. No state income tax is huuuge, and the cost of living is much lower than California. LA has a lot of pluses, but the people here are so self-centered and it's all about what you can do for them- too much bullshit. I'm seeking a simpler life- a house, a driveway, a dog, a garage!... Living in LA has taught me this much.
